My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 797: Marketing, Don’t Cue Me!

After the exam, Little Treasure came back with an off complexion.

"Dad, I feel terrible."

"I have this heavy, pulling sensation in my lower abdomen, and it hurts."

Lin Feng knew immediately what was wrong and handed his daughter a glass of water.

"Your teacher must have taught you about female biology, right?"

He had already thought of a way to explain things gently without making it awkward.

But Little Treasure said, "I know. It means I’m growing up."

So the little girl already knew.

Lin Feng told her to go lie down and said he would bring her meal over to her later.

Little Treasure said she didn’t want to move and just wanted to lie on the couch.

"Alright, alright. Dad will bring you a blanket. You just get some rest."

Little Treasure turned on the TV and cast the hottest fantasy drama, but after a few episodes, she couldn’t get into it and switched to an old thriller starring a young foreign actress. She scrolled through Weibo while watching the movie.

Because of the new show’s popularity, this young star was creating quite a buzz. Normally, Little Treasure wouldn’t care, considering how many people there are in the entertainment industry.

But why did they have to drag her into their marketing and use her name to generate buzz?

They were praising another actress’s performance while claiming her own acting felt too forced.

Little Treasure’s temper flared.

She immediately posted on Weibo: You can say my grades are bad, but you can’t say my acting is bad!

When Lin Feng came over and saw his daughter’s indignant face, he quickly asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"No. Someone’s trying to build themselves up by putting me down."

"Don’t mind them. There are plenty of people like that in the entertainment business."

In the past, Little Treasure would have just laughed these things off; she was very familiar with the workings of the entertainment circle. But today, she couldn’t swallow this insult.

It was probably because her period was coming, which made her more irritable.

She sat up. "I can’t stand it. I’m going to tear them apart."

Then she posted another Weibo message: To set the record straight, I don’t want to be promoted alongside anyone. Don’t drag me into it.

The comments below were all consoling, telling her not to take it to heart.

"With that kind of acting, how could she be promoted alongside our Little Treasure? Is she worthy?"

"All she can do is glare. She just cycles through the same few expressions. It’s just cringey."

"The other girl is young too. It was probably her team’s idea, not hers."

"Holy cow, they dared to use Little Treasure for promotion? Have they lost their minds?"

"They’ve got a lot of nerve..."

"Haha, they used to quietly ride Little Treasure’s coattails, and when they saw she didn’t care, they escalated."

"Can’t they just work on their acting? Why bother with all this nonsense? Is it interesting?"

"Little Treasure, say no more. Go get ’em! Tear them apart!"

Little Treasure had only posted two messages that seemed to be calling them out, hoping they wouldn’t go too far and would know when to stop.

Lin Feng soothed her, "Come on, eat something. Tell Dad, how did your exam go today?"

Little Treasure replied listlessly, "I feel awful. I don’t want to eat..."

Lin Feng chuckled. "What, you’re this old and you still need your dad to feed you?"

Little Treasure tilted her head. "Well, it’s not out of the question!"

After dinner, Little Treasure checked Weibo. It seemed the other party really wasn’t ready to give up.

Little Treasure was aware that in the entertainment circle, many unwritten rules had become ingrained. The other child star was the same age as her. While Little Treasure was busy studying, the other girl had taken the opportunity to star in a couple of hit dramas, and now her team was getting arrogant.

Online, people said she wasn’t as pretty as her two older sisters and that her grades weren’t as good as her siblings’, making her the worst child in the family. Little Treasure could accept all that because it was true and there was no way to refute it.

But to say her acting was inferior, that she wasn’t as good as that other little girl—that was unacceptable!

Staring at her phone, Little Treasure said, "Dad, I haven’t acted in a long time. Since I’m free during winter break, how about I take on a new role?"

Her family had always let her do as she pleased. This time was no exception, and she got Lin Feng’s approval without any trouble. As her agent, he was now in charge of everything that followed.

"While you were studying for your exams, quite a few productions reached out to you. I looked through them, and they’re all pretty good. One or two are quite challenging."

At those words, Little Treasure immediately became interested. "Really? Let me see what they are..."

Lin Feng went upstairs to the study and brought down a stack of scripts. "Here. These are the ones Dad thinks are good. Take a look."

"If you aren’t satisfied after reading these, you can check out the rest."

Lin Feng had not only read them but had also written a five-thousand-word outline for each script, complete with notes on character personalities and other details.

The internet culture today was different from before. The entertainment industry was increasingly fickle, with fast-food entertainment becoming mainstream. Looking at the current movies in theaters, there weren’t many Lin Feng felt were worth watching. And the movies with good reputations only seemed that way by comparison.

If Little Treasure were to act, the script, the director, the team, and the cast all mattered greatly. Thus, Lin Feng’s standards were very high; he evaluated everything using the benchmarks of the past.

Little Treasure used to be young and would take on minor walk-on roles that didn’t have many scenes but were critically important. But things were different now. She was only in her first year of junior high but was already five-foot-four, with the potential to grow to around five-foot-seven. Although she still looked a bit young, she was sunny and cute, with the inherent aura of a girl from a wealthy family. So, her range of roles had broadened. She could play the daughter in a family drama or a classmate in a school drama. Of course, she also got offers for standout supporting roles in big-budget productions.

When Zhang Yuxi returned, she found her daughter sprawling inelegantly on the sofa while Lin Feng was taking extra good care of her.

"What’s wrong with her?"

Lin Feng explained, "Our daughter is on her period and feeling a bit unwell, so she’s lying down."

Zhang Yuxi was taken aback. She put down her bag and walked over. "How are you feeling now? Any better?"

"Do we have any ’bread’? We don’t have any at home. Mommy will go buy you some right now."

Little Treasure was a child born to them in their middle age. Despite Zhang Yuxi’s stern demeanor, she doted on her daughter.

Lin Feng said, "Little Treasure brought some home. It’s enough."

Zhang Yuxi adjusted the cushions. "Then just lie down. You’ll feel better that way."

Little Treasure smiled sweetly. "Thanks, Mom. Um, I want to read my scripts now. Could you please not disturb me?"

The couple left the room, giving Little Treasure her space.

Zhang Yuxi felt something stir within her. "Little Treasure is growing up into a young woman..."

Lin Feng didn’t say a word. He just served his wife more food, urging her to eat.

Zhang Yuxi was in her fifties, so her own period only came a few times a year, and very lightly at that. Before long, it would stop altogether. Then, denying her age would no longer be an option.

Online, after Little Treasure posted her two updates, the opposing team not only didn’t back down but turned the situation into a marketing strategy. You had to admire their courage.

However, Tian Tian then posted an update of her own, tagging the production team and their agency with a tone that was far from friendly.

"No matter how you market yourselves, don’t drag Little Treasure into this, OK?"
